CHAPTER EIGHT

PART 1

“Okay so this is the plan” he posted the white cartolina in the whiteboard showing the plans for the activity that will be held by our club

“We will have a mini concert for the university week. I expect everyone to cooperate. We only have 3 days to prepare. This is a musical and theater club and as what has been the tradition, everyone will take a part for the activity”

ang plano para ngayong taong ito ay magkaroon nang 3 hour mini concert ang musical and theater club ng school. Dahil open for all university ang university week ng school, possible na maraming manunuod hindi lamang students from our school kundi pati na rin students from different university and colleges.

Halos kalahati na rin yung nabibigyan nang task. Yung iba they will form a band, the others solo part and mostly they were seniors, yung iba naman naka assigned sa musical play about romance tragedy. Ang pagkakaalam ko lahat mayroong stage time. So yung mga tapos na sila yung mag aasikaso sa backstage or props at iba pa. at ako? Di ko pa din alam eh. Piano lang naman alam ko tugtugin siguro isasama ako sa acoustic band. haha

“Elisha. You play piano right?” Tanong ni Ate Xindy. Siya yung Vice President ng club.

“ah. Opo.”

“and you can sing?”

“tama lang po.”

“So . . . . . can you play a solo part?”

“wh-what? So-solo part? Naku Ate Xindy baka po di ko kaya yun.”

“You play piano so well Elisha and you can sing. Actually I won’t tell you to do it if I didn’t saw you in the music room. I heard it and it was great.”

“Pero ate Xindy- - - -“

“You’ll going to play a solo part strawberry. Next Drake. You can play guitar right?”

Heesh! Marunong naman ako mag piano. Pwede naman ako tumugtog eh pero hindi solo. Pano kung di ko magawa? Thinking na madaming manunuod sa concert na yun? haish!!! Di naman ako ganun ka pro pagdating sa pagtugtog at pagkanta noh! Anong kala nila sakin si Beethoven? I have confidence taking exams but not this one. I never played solo. Laging 2-4 person yung kasama ko sa stage. Kahit man lang sana may accompaniment di ba? Ts.

Pagkatapos mag assign nang mga gagawin ng bawat members. Nilapitan ko si Levi. Para makipag-usap at magreklamo.

“Bakit ako? Hindi ba pwedeng sumama na lang ako sa ibang banda? O kaya kahit ano basta hindi lang ako yung nasa stage. Hindi ko talaga kaya yun.”

“Don’t you trust yourself huh?”

“It’s just that. I can’t. I don’t think I can do it.”

“You know what strawberry. You have 3 days to practice. There’s a lots of improvement you can do. Everyone trusts you here, so you just need to trust yourself. I have to go. I’ll have some things to do.”

That’s the problem why I can’t. Everyone trusts me. I might do something that will cause disappointment for them. I may not be able to attain their expectation. I’m afraid I may not be able to do this and make this people regret that they trust me.

“ELISHA!!! bestpleeen!”

“Eh?” pagkarinig ko ng familiar na boses na yun eh lumingon ako agad. At di nga ako nagkamali, si Nica. She’s really the best among the friends I ever had. Akalain mo di ko pa sinasabi sa kanya na kailangan ko ng makakausap ngayon eh nandito na agad siya. Sabi ko na nga ba may pagka psychic tong babae na to.
